if this happens...then that means i will finally have a yankee on my fantasy team i don't really want that

jesus, the devil rays suck!

what can you get for him? he has no value to anyone. trade him for an A-rod bobblehead doll who cares a box of capncrunch some celery anything

holy crap~~ i am hestitant to get very excited about this, but i am enjoying this start in a big BIG way!

who wants to send pie down again!!?!!?? i think we should he brings nothing to this team bring up cedeno and stick him in center

Z doesn't really REALLY want to stay here, he was just saying that so he could get a contract signed... blah...trade his lillylivered ass

lol

thank god...finally a move in the right direction

they better make him the starting center fielder...why keep yanking him around...that would be pointless

The percentage of African-Americans playing Major League Baseball is at an all-time low and Gary Sheffield says he has a theory why that's the case. Gary Sheffield Sheffield In an interview with GQ magazine that's currently on newsstands, the typically outspoken Tigers designated hitter said Latin players have replaced African-Americans as baseball's most prevalent minority because they are easier to control. "I called it years ago. What I called is that you're going to see more black faces, but there ain't no English going to be coming out. … [it's about] being able to tell [Latin players] what to do -- being able to control them," he told the magazine. "Where I'm from, you can't control us. You might get a guy to do it that way for a while because he wants to benefit, but in the end, he is going to go back to being who he is. And that's a person that you're going to talk to with respect, you're going to talk to like a man. "These are the things my race demands. So, if you're equally good as this Latin player, guess who's going to get sent home? I know a lot of players that are home now can outplay a lot of these guys." According to a 2005 report by the University of Central Florida Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport, only 8.5 percent of major leaguers were African American -- the lowest percentage since the report was initiated in the mid-1980s. By contrast, whites comprised 59.5 percent of the majors' player pool, Latinos 28.7 percent and Asians 2.5. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

awesome!!! at least he doesn't have to be there when they get bombed today

this is correct

has he ever batted 5th? i don't know...making him bat somewhere else in the lineup right now would be a big step...then they could focus on getting a good leadoff hitter in here just my 2 cents

but...if the cubs keep losing...very likely...do you think that soriano will finally be moved from leadoff? anyone?

exactly...so...in other words...not going to happen...

only a couple of months till the daytona cubs come into town i am looking forward to that one

they are going to finish about as good as last season

as much as i want to see barrett go, i can't believe some of you are entertaining the likes of baldelli and dukes no bueno

i think it is an absolutely great and wonderous thing of beauty that has happened today!!! this is just what needed to happen...hopefully some real changes can start being made now...seriously...it is about time...it way past time thank god for hotheaded simply horrible baseball players!!! yay!!! this has been the most exciting thing that has happened all season long

in about 5 years

poor hendry...i really hope he feels horrible because of this mess he has made with such a browbeaten organization thanks for the goodtimes hendry you da man!

no, this is good news...he is on my fantasy team i need him to play you say where is my cubs loyalty? i am 10 games away from calling this season a wash

Knowing our luck, probably Rupert Murdoch ok, i have a myspace account, but i would NEVER support the cubs in ANY WAY if murdoch was the owner. NEVER. That would be huge (edit: HUGE) mistake on your part. Murdoch is a very rich man because he is very extremely successful and smart with all of his assets. If any man can turn the Cubs into the Midwest Yankees complete with media hype and wins to boot, its a man like Murdoch. Don't let your politics get in the way of what would be a great thing for the Cubs. God, only a liberal can see a bad thing when one of the most successful men in the world is suggested as a buyer for the world's worst bigtime franchise. Shouldn't you be in a drum circle or music festival somewhere? shouldn't you be praying somewhere out in the woods with a shotgun while hunting, after burning 20 gallons of fuel in your full-sized cab truck with a picture of calvin on the back pissing on France? i still only eat freedom fries

i think there is a banner hanging up in hendry's office saying, "everyday is opposite day!"

sweet, thanks
